The perfect ending to any meal. I typically gravitate to warm fruit desserts, custards, or bread puddings, so naturally a mixed berry Flaugnarde has my name all over it. Sounds fancy, huh!? Well you won't believe how easy this is to whip up!

A Flaugnarde is a rustic French custard-like dessert eaten warm made with eggs, milk, fruit, and dusted with powdered sugar. This is just like a clafoutis, however a a traditional clafoutis calls for black cherries, if any other fruit is used it's then called a Flaugnarde. You can make this with fresh berries, plums or even peaches.

Because this recipe is more of a custard, using whole eggs is a must so to lighten it I replaced the cream with low fat milk. This is also great baked in ramekins for easy portion control; baking time would be less.

Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly spray a baking dish with baking spray and dust with a little flour. Toss in the berries.

Whisk the eggs, agave, salt, and flour together until smooth.

Add the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Pour into the baking dish.

Bake for 45 - 50 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When you pull it put of the oven it will wiggle a bit which is completely normal. Cool on a wire rack.

The flaugnarde will have puffed up a bit and will deflate while cooling. When cool, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

This looks delish! Have to say a big thank you to you and your website. I haven't commented before but I've made at least 5 of your recipies over the past month and so far everything is stellar! Thank you!

Kymberly, sure you can use Truvia, Splenda, whatever you prefer as a sweetener.

I wouldn't use egg whites here, it's a custard so it should have the yolks. Feel free to make changes to this to suit your taste, almond milk, fat free milk, why not! I haven't tested it so I can't guarantee it will taste as creamy as the classic French dish if you make further changes.

Refrigerate the leftovers. I used an oval baking dish, but a 7 x 11 or a 9 x 9 should work. You may need to adjust baking time.

I made this using only strawberries because thats all I could find at the farmers market. I also used regular sugar and fat free milk. I baked it in a 9x9 pie pan.

It was very tasty and easy to whip up but it took a long time to cook! I think I had it in there for about 1.5 hrs. I'm still not sure its fully done but it sure tastes good! Thanks for the simple recipe!

Thank you so much! As others have said, I've tried a few of your recipes so far, and they have all been great. This dessert is really yummy. I actually like it cold outta the fridge the next day since the custard almost seems like a cool, smooth crust under the berries. Delicious, thank you again!

In the oven now!! I used all strawberries since I just bought a huge thing of them from costco this afternoo. I subbed nonfat milk for the 1% and reduced the agave to 6 table spoons. In the recipe tracker that takes it down to 3 points+ per serving! Woohoo! I didn't do a very good job of following directions, so my custard was a bit lumpy... But I just strained it before pouring it over my berries and it looks great!! I can't wait to dig in. Gina, you never fail to impress!!! I love every recipe you post and they always turn out delicious!!!

I've tried several different recipes for Clafoutis (or Flaugnarde). I really like this recipe best! I've now made it with mixed berries and with chopped fresh apricots, all with really good results. I'm going to try it again today with peaches. I top it with whip cream or whip topping makes it even better!

This was absolutely delicious! I served it for friends last weekend, and they loved it as well. Even the non-dessert eaters had their share.

Very light, very tasty and so easy to make! Our guests seemed to think it looked very impressive, but I did break down and tell them how simple it was. I even let them know it was WW friendly. Everyone was shocked.

Just made this, it turned out lovely, everyone loved it! We had it warm and topped it with some vanilla frozen yogurt; so yummy! Simple but a dessert worthy of being served at a dinner party! Thank you for this! :)
